At the water park, a girl about two years old jumped and bobbed in the water as two adults she was with did the same. 🙂

As I hugged my grandma for about a minute as she talked to my mom before we left, she slapped my butt whenever she emphasized something.

A cute 6-year-old boy with an Irish accent and the sweetest demeanor: “I got a girlfriend up in Fremont. She’s 5″ Isn’t puppy love the cutest thing? 🙂

disturbed. After just finishing a mini tv series on human trafficking, I’m sick to my stomach and highly disturbed about the whole topic. I haven’t felt this anguished, indignant, frustrated, and powerless in a long time.. though my own feelings are nothing close to the pain and suffering of real victims. I can’t even begin […]

Raindrops: Child Abuse

August 9, 2012 by Jenny Mei

The words “child” and “abuse” should never be put in the same phrase together. Can you really call yourself human if you make a child suffer, whether it is through bruises or emotional trauma? My mother didn’t always have the nicest child-rearing techniques, but at the end of the day, they helped me grow as […]
